Great Tool

Great software

Overall a very easy system to get up and running with a very professional look and feel. I love the fact that this software is so much faster than Eventbrite.

Pros

I switched from Eventbrite and love using Corsizio. It is faster to set up new events and easier to administer existing events. I like that it connects with Zapier into my CRM system.

Cons

I don't like the fact that Corsizio does not let me pass on the ticket fees to the buyer. I can raise the course price to offset the cost, but the buyer sees it as a higher price. Would be nice if the buyer saw the fees as a line item on their ticket receipt. This would save me thousands of dollars per year. I also don't like the fact that there are no affiliate marketing capabilities. And some minor user interface changes are desired on the course registration page. It would be nice if Corsizio could work with Affirm or some other company that could enable a student to pay over time. Eventbrite used to offer this feature where students could pay over time using Affirm but they removed it and used Paypal instead, which is not as good as Affirm was.

Much, much better than our previous ticketing provider and a tiny fraction of the cost.

We were previously using Eventbrite which is hugely expensive by comparison, has ugly presentation, posts adverts for competing events on your booking pages, and has a very unclear checkout process. I had tried two other providers without success and my partner who has been handling bookings and billing for ages with Eventbrite was very much against switching. However, after taking a deep breath and setting up a small event with Corsizio as an experiment I was blown away by its simplicity, ease of use and clean presentation: so I migrated all our events (current and future). With several years' experience doing events I am a critical user and found a couple of minor niggles but Corsizio were quick to respond and extremely helpful. With a bit of off-line tweaking my partner now has smoother back-office processes than before. We are both not only extremely satisfied but also making more money on our events!

Pros

Very clean formatting, well thought-out functionality and easy integration into our web sites. It also uses Stripe as a card payments handler rather than PayPal. PayPal charged more and was confusing because it prioritises its own marketing agenda during the payment process.

Cons

I found it tricky to export registration data into our office systems BUT on the credit side, the company responded sympathetically to my feedback and even adopted one of my suggestions the next day, so the problem has gone away.

It is absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough good things about how easy this system is to use and how well it works for our needs.

Pros

I found Corsizio very easy to learn, and I am basically "self-taught". If I have any questions, I email the support team and they get back to me very quickly with just the information I was looking for. They are smart, kind and extremely helpful.

Cons

The only thing our organization could benefit from that is not available with Corsizio is a "cart" system for families that are registering multiple kids in our classes.

Great functionality, but somewhat complex

There are now many competitors out there and it is probably time to take another look. To do that we need to think about the importance of different features. 1. Ease of registering (especially for more than one class at a time) 2. Ability to send out course reminders 3. Ease of programming 4. Ability to add registration options for attending (in-person, zoom or recording) for a course without having to set up the course 3 different ways.

Pros

The ability to send out reminders for specific course events

Cons

Customers do not like to have to register separately for each course (vs a shopping cart that gives them a total cost as they go, and allows them to go thru the checkout process ONCE). Capturing street address in contact info has been somewhat problematic with some not able to find their address. Some would prefer to use PayPal. So much functionality comes with the price of additional need for QC.
